Question for knowledgeable HO people

[Fletch]

I have a 86 Lincoln Towncar with a 5.0 that needs an engine rebuild. I have a 86 HO motor with an after-market cam and bad crank that was pulled running from a rusted out GT.

This is a winter driver and where doing this on the cheep so I'd like to re-bearing the Lincoln short-block (all it needs) the put it back together with the HO cam, heads and intake. Maybe even the HO headers.

We didn't have the foresight to save the computer from the GT so we'd like to use the one in the Towncar. The firing order for the HO is 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 and the stock Towncar is 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8

Now how can I make this work?

Should I look for a GT computer? or can I rewire the injectors?

Are the Distributors the same?

Thanks,

Fletch

best bet is to get the gt computer but you could mark what injectors are where now and switch the plugs around later or tke the easy way out and convert to carb

Thanks, I think we got it figured out. Where using my Lincoln's stock block with HO pistons and heads with the intake and computer from a Mass-Air Mustang GT.

All I need now is the pigtail from a Mass-Air sensor so we can finish the wiring. Anyone git one laying around?
